WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL! My first experience at the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival was nothing short of mesmerizing. This grassy hill transformed into a theater for all of Los Angeles. Everyone who makes this city vibrant, inclusive, and ever-changing was bringing to life Shakespeare’s plays (on stage and in the audience) in a way I’d never seen before: the classics made uniquely contemporary; unrivaled artistry in an informal environment; people as diverse on stage as off; every walk of life, ages, backgrounds, families, dates, friends—gathered to experience the power and importance of live theater. Every summer brings with it the excitement of being back in the park to see this work and to be together. I will admit, I sometimes let my attention wander from the action to see who is here and to say hello to another fan of Independent Shakespeare Co. I invite you to do the same because this mesmerizing experience you’ll share tonight is one that will strengthen this community that we call theater and that we call Los Angeles. We are glad to be here together with you and to welcome you to your theater. — Eduardo A. Braniff, ISC Board Chair OUR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS We’re taking steps to reduce our plastic footprint, and we need your help! While we encourage you to bring your own picnics, we recognize that this in- creases plastic waste collected here at the park. Rain and winds can sweep litter and trash that has been improperly disposed of into the ocean. Once in the water, plastic debris absorbs toxic pollutants, never fully biodegrades, and is harmful to marine life.

William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 1
William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part 1 Act V A virtual Shakespeare experience brought to you by Santa Cruz Shakespeare, Shakespeare Workshop and The Humanities Institute UCSC LAST WEEK ON THE WARS OF THE ROSES... After making Richard Plantagenet the Duke of York, Henry VI departed with his nobles to be coronated in France. Meanwhile, through deception, Joan “La Pucelle” infiltrated Rouen, and took that city back for the French. Her victory was short-lived, however, as commander Talbot of the English won it back in battle. Realizing that the French could not win while England was allied to Burgundy, Joan arranged a parley with that Duke and convinced him to switch sides. As France and Burgundy’s combined armies marched to defeat the outnumbered English, the Duke of York and the Earl of Somerset, the white rose and the red, refused to combine forces to come to the rescue. Consequently, the English army was crushed, and Earl Talbot, the English war hero, was slain. The victorious French marched toward Paris. “Last Week on The Wars of the Roses” contributed by SCS Artistic Director, Mike Ryan. For more information on The Wars of the Roses, please reference Dr. Ariane Helou’s dramaturgical resource packet on Henry VI, Part 1 which is continued after page 10. Undiscovered Shakespeare: The Wars of the Roses project has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor and by our generous donors! Benefactor The Towell Family Executive Producer Stephen and Madeleine Fackler Producers Rick and Violet Boyle Margaret Brose Special Thanks: Rody Ortega Ryan Peavey 1 THE DIRECTOR PAUL MULLINS** (Director, Henry VI, Part 1) Mullins is a New York City based freelance theatre director.
